I substituted applesauce for the oil. It came out great!

Delish. I reduced the sugar by 1/2 c. And used regular chocolate (unsweetened squares). And creme de cacao, since i didnt have rum. SO GOOD. thanks.

I made this last night because I had bananas turning black, and it took almost all five of them for this recipe. I had all the other ingredients on hand except white baking chocolate (in hindsight I should have bought the white chocolate chips to speed the preparation process rather than trying to chop the squares). It's FANTASTIC. My boyfriend keeps referring to it as "banana cake" because of its rich flavor, and everyone at the office is loving it today. Still has a strong banana flavor (the coconut adds more texture than flavor) and I can't really taste the white chocolate personally. Easy to put together though, and makes two good-sized loaves. I'll keep this one!

Wow is this so good! I made 8 mini loaves and gave them as a "lil something extra" gifts for Mother's Day. Delicious, moist and very flavorful...the only thing that I changed was to use coconut extract in place of the rum extract. This is a great banana bread recipe...will most definately be making again. Thanks!

Gorgeous bread, can't believe it has so few reviews. The loaf was light and moist, I really enjoyed the coconut and white chocolate. Just that little bit more different than traditional Banana Bread.

This is an excellent recipe. My husband loved it. I added almonds to mine. It was so moist and very easy to make.

Very good bread (although i let it cook too long it was still very good!). I was looking for something that would add a different taste to a banana bread and this is a recipe that is good. If you don't like banana bread alone. Try this recipe out.

It was very good but a little sweet. I cut the sugar down by about 1/4 cup give or take and upped the banana a bit (no point not using that extra 1/2 banana!). Hubby thought it was just right but the addition of white chocolate pushed it over the edge for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to eat it and enjoy it, but next time I'll either leave out the choc or replace it with bitter sweet

Yummy! I LOVE coconut, so this was a great recipe for me. The only changes I made were I used coconut extract because I didn't have rum extract & I used white chocolate chips instead of chopping a block of chocolate. This recipe made five small loaves, enough to share with the neighbors. I just had a warm piece & it was wonderful!
